I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife’.

Photo: actress Louise Brooks, captured in a still from the 1929 film 'The Canary Murder Case'. She doth recline most elegantly upon a vintage velvet sofa, her arm draped over the side and her legs stretched forth in languid repose. Adorned is she in a dark satin gown, her signature bob framing her face most artfully, whilst her countenance doth appear serene, as though lost in deep contemplation.
